Frank, if you try it and your truck goes faster than before, then check the oil with a geiger counter! Maybe a few free protons give your turbo an extra kick! ;-)

The yard probably belongs to http://www.steenhuis-recycling.nl/index.html with the address in the Renselweg, not the Oliemolenweg

Guys, a friend of mine needs two good fueltanks (left/right) for his M818. They need to be shipped to Germany. Can someone please point me / him to a relyable source where these could be purchased in the States? TIA, Mark

Back in the mainframe-operating days we used industrial orange oil to remove stuck envelope-stickers out of chain printers, which could be a horrible mess. Worked superb and smelled god. That stuff dissolved and cleaned almost everything and does no harm to ones health.

I would say try it. I also burn used oil from diesel-electric generators and transformer-oil. I dilute it with a little gas (petrol), let it sit for a few days or even weeks and filter it with a 20micron sock filter before dumping it into the tank. The deuce loves it, no probs so far and...

ahrghh I need one, but I seem to live on the wrong continent for my hobby. If such a item surfaces at all here it sells for phantastic prices. It took me over half a year to get my VIC-1 parts together... now I look for the mounting brackets for the mx-6707 matching unit... nada... sigh

Funny, yesterday I wrote a pm to Steelsoldier asking what he feels about a historical "VIN Registry" on SS. I proposed a table-like structure which has the VIN along with some other information (vehicle configuration, location, date of drmo(if known), thumbnail-picture). One row per vehicle...

What kind of oil is it? Break fluid maybe? A leaky airpac could dump oil into the air venting system.

Lucky guy :-) I hope I will have that experiance one day, too. I love the sound of these big radials. Last year I had the pleasure of a flight in a T6 Texan, with a full aerobatic session. I'll never forget that. The planes from that era are truly outstanding. I don't know how many Me109s...

To my understanding there were three mirror styles on the deuce. The oldest mirror is a small round one on one strut as mentioned and pictured before. The intermediate one where a single arm supporting the mirror was welded to the bolt of the front window mounting. Here you have some...

Pawnshop, do you know that these black plastic things on those structural menbers on the back of your cab are there for? Never saw this before.

You're lucky that nothing worse happened, one easily can develop a hefty blood poisoning when a foreign liquid is injected into tissue (and probably ruptures blood vessels) with high pressure! A friend of mine pressure washed his car once and ripped a nice junk of rubber out of the tire - we...

hmm that rather looks like a well put retarded cluster-drop from an osprey on a high speed level run from the 2 o'clock position. Nice truck, I agree that this an excellent restoration project! I love those restoration posts with photographs, so keep us up to date with your project [thumbzup]...

Can it be that these Volvos are a little top-heavy? I've never seen as many vehicles resting on their side as these on offroad-happenings.

It looks so easy and clean on the pictures, but I know this is a difficult and time consuming job you are up to. Great work, I really look forward to see more of the progression! [thumbzup] Cheers, Mark

I'd be careful around the knuckle boots, expecially those with the zippers and when they are older or are of a certain bad quality (a strong power blast can easily rip a lightly deteriorated rubber boot apart). I also refrain from blasting the tool box directly, because that can the drench...

Re: RE: Re: RE: Robots At The Marriott Today :funny: rofl

You're right, I' aware of that. The company which I get the oil from separates pcb contaminated oil because it needs a special disposal treatment, so I can be quite sure that I get only the non-PCB stuff. According to them there are very few transformers left which are old enough to contain...

Welcome! I lived in New Haven CT back in the eighties for two years. A friend of mine is very knowledgeable about WCs, I'm sure she would be happy to help you out with questions, see http://www.commandcar.com ! Ahh yes, and: pictures :-) Cheers, Mark

It seems that this truck was further developed into the T55E1, see http://www.warwheels.net/T55E1MotorCarriageINDEX.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T55E1_Motor_Carriage
